Biography
Sal Marcano was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States to a family of Italian descent, and he became the boss of the powerful Marcano crime family. Sal's immediate family would become one of the most respected families in New Orleans, and his brother Lou Marcano was able to influence politics by befriending state senator Walter Jacobs. Marcano was feared by many, and he had control of most of the crime rackets in the city, while he forced the owners of the other rackets to pay tribute. In 1968, he killed the black mob's leader Sammy Robinson after Robinson became less productive with money, leading to black mob member Lincoln Clay embarking on a crusade to avenge Robinson. He would succeed in killing Marcano after hunting down his allies and rackets, and the Marcano family was nearly destroyed.
